Two Stage Model Rocket with Camera (2011-05-29)

This is the maiden flight of our 2 stage rocket with on board video camera. David designed the rocket and verified it with a Fortran program he wrote for his Aerospace Engineering 160 class at ISU. The rocket uses a D12-0 motor for the first stage which ignites the second stage D12-3 motor. We took some liberties with the Greek language and named it Camoranos which roughly translates to "camera in the heavens" Be sure and watch the slow motion video and still pictures at the end to see some interesting views of the stage separation and parachute ejection.
